Roses give a lot of color all summer. There is a misconception that roses are hard to take care of. “Home Run” (my favorite) only needs to be pruned once in the fall. Use shredded bark for mulch, and you have a plant that thrives in the heat and blooms all summer. Give any of these recommended roses a try. They add interest and scent to the garden.

Remember roses like fertilizer. We recommend incorporating 2 gallons of mushroom compost into a new rose. If you have an existing rose, add rose fertilizer as package directions. Also, add a package of soil moist to the planting hole. This will help retain moisture during the hot summer.
